Mutton Biryani

Here comes my fav mutton biryani:):). It is very special for me, because my family loves my mutton biryani so much. It is very simple and very very delicious. Most important for this recipe is that the choice of the mutton, always try to get the tender one and also the fresh one. Easy to cook and very tasty. Served with onion raitha or any curry (which shouldn't be much strong as it may dominates the biryani flavour).
If you are the beginner, trust me this is gonna be the easiest biryani recipe for you.

Ingredients
250gm Boneless Mutton
2 cups basmati rice
2 large Onions
1 large tomato
6-8 green chili
1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon fennel powder
1/2 cup mint leaves
1 tablespoon yogurt
2 inch cinnamon
2 cardamon
3 cloves 
1 star anise
Salt
Oil and ghee

Method

• Clean mutton, cut onions into strips, chop tomatoes, cut green chilies into halves.
• In a heavy bottom pan or in pressure cooker add 5 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoon of ghee.
• When the oil is hot, add cinnamon, cardamon, cloves and star anise. When it splutters add the onions and green chilies.
• When the onions turn golden brown, add ginger garlic paste and fry till the raw smell goes off.
• Add tomatoes and saute for a min, then add mint leaves, yogurt, mutton, salt, fennel powder, red chili powder and salt.
• Saute for 3-5 mins. Then add 4 cups of water and close the lid, if it is pressure cooker leave it for 2-3 whistles.
• When you feel the mutton is well cooked, you can add the basmati rice and pressure cook for 1 whistle or accordingly.
• When the basmati rice is cooked well, stir once (so that the masala is spread evenly) and serve hot.

Note

• You can adjust the spicy level, it you don't like the rice much spicy, you can reduce the number of green chili.
• If you are totally away from ghee, then no prob you can prepare only with oil.
• Some mutton may take more time to cook so it make take more than 3 whistles.
• If it is taking more time to cook the mutton, it may absorb the water and it won't be sufficient for the basmati rice to cook, so add extra 1 cup of water.
• Fennel powder is nothing but just grind the fennel seeds with the help of your food processor.
